TRAIT
Training Transversal - Supporting Career Development and Research
2015 – 2017 | Erasmus+ KA2 project Strategic partnership
About the Project
The TRAIT project was an Erasmus+ Strategic Partnership focused on enhancing career development by improving transversal skills among young people and educators within vocational education and training (VET). The project aimed to develop innovative, learner-centred blended learning approaches to foster the growth of six key transversal skills, addressing the diverse needs of low-educated youth, NEETs, and VET trainers. By involving partnerships between educational organisations, employers, and social partners, TRAIT sought to create more attractive and effective training programmes that align with individual needs and labour market demands, ultimately improving employability and workforce readiness across Europe.
Project Outputs
The project produced a comprehensive blended learning course structured around six transversal skills, which was delivered through three main intellectual outputs: an online e-learning platform, detailed training materials, and face-to-face training resources. These freely accessible resources are designed to support trainers and educators in delivering high-quality, work-based learning experiences, while also equipping learners with the essential skills needed for successful integration into the workforce. The project also conducted transversal skills research to inform curriculum development, ensuring the course content remained relevant to employer priorities and educational best practices.
